Well its in the news so it worked. Protest is literally one of the only thing that's ever actually effected change in this country so stick with it. The more people it pisses off, the better. If a protest leaves people feeling safe and comfortable, it wasn't a protest, it was a parade.
Nah, the message is getting lost in the delivery. I support BLM too but had the same issue with their freeway-blocking tactics. Nobody is going to swing to your side of the argument because you blocked their route home...nobody. People have emergencies, parents and kids need to get places...people have important jobs and need to be able to get to work such as doctors, first responders, air traffic controllers etc etc.. Yes, Gaza and BLM are both worthy causes but there are many other worthy causes as well. You can't block traffic for every worthy cause...block people from living their lives to put what you personally feel is the most important social issue at the top of their world by forcing it on them through essentially trapping them. It's just plain wrong and nothing is going to change that. Yes what's going on in Gaza is more wrong, and yet it's still illogical af and morally wrong to pretend that this provides justification to trap people on freeways.
If you think the point of disruptive protest is to win people to your side you are an idiot. The point is to make society stop working.
The same society you are hoping to change...I don't think you realize how immature your thought process is here.
I love the coy allusion to the possibility that you aren't a vapid idiot. The suggestion that you might have a point of view but you're just too shy to say anything worth pressing the 'reply' button for.
If I were you I wouldn't have posted that. But if you wanted my advice now it would be to maintain the illution.
ROFL, how do you take yourself seriously?
By contrast.
lol, uh huh...Not sure I've ever seen someone be so convinced of their intellectual superiority with so little reason to be. Intelligent people use their extended vocabulary when necessary to make cohesive and logically sound arguments. You've used uncommon words out of trying too hard to bedazzle shallow arguments that are logically and/or morally inferior.
If a solid argument were a fine jacket, your style is more like gluing rhinestones onto a denim one; flashy but not exactly impressive. But hey, you got some attention so I'll give you a nice pat on the head for that. Pat pat. Now, grow up and finish your education.
No you're a jacket
Technically, I'm a tuber.
You ascribe descriptions of yourself to others to be insulting. Not sure why you're reinstigating here but you remain a pompous idiot.
